Ex trouble Again!!

babywillow

Sorry not sure I'm posting in the right place, long story short.

Split with ex in July 2011, moved out of army housing into our own house, with 2 children (now 3 and 8) joint mortgage which he pays but no csa. April 2013 I do csa and agree to paying half mortgage, but now he won't pay and starts repossion.
I've got sorted and moving into rented house in 3 weeks, started to move stuff out, and sell bits I don't have room for. He just arrives for children going mental saying I can't take anything from the house!
I've lived here alone for 2 years, everything I've paid for and have receipts, can he take me to court, although I doubt he could afford to.
Thanks for reading.

How does your ex of 2 years know that you are packing stuff up to take to your new home?

Of course it's allowed.

I've told him I'm going because of the boys and he was going to rent the house out, but has since changed his mind!

Ok. Regarding the belongings, can you not just offer to share them out equally between you? this is what usually happens.

But I have paid for them, all I have is a washing machine, 3 beds and 2 sets of draws! And then curtains, poles etc. He lives in single man accommodation on base and has no need for such items.
Thanks for your replies

When you moved out of the army accommodation (marital home) did you split the furniture at that point, so that what was moved into the joint house was Op's share?

If on the other hand the furniture in the joint house was already there, it sounds to me like it was jointly owned. In that case I don't think Op should take or dispose of the furniture that was there when she moved in, but make an arrangement with her ex. (Items bought the split on the other hand I would not discuss with the ex.)

The point isn't whether he needs it or not (sorry but that is none of your business? Even if isn't "nice" of him) but whether the items were joint /bought before you broke up.

Ah just take them then. the kids have to have beds and a washing machine after all! Take no notice, he is just out to cause trouble.

Try not to get involved in arguments when it's handover time. It's not good for the kids. Tell him to put all his concerns in e-mail and you'll deal with it that way.

I'm confused though as to why your packing up the beds and washing machine now, when you're not moving for another 3 weeks.

The only things to come from martial home were, fridge - not taking, sofa - not taking and tv - would take, beds, washer, etc all brought after split by myself or my mum.
I've taken a wall hung electric fire, brought by myself and that's what's annoyed him!

Well don't tell him - to be honest you sound like your goading him a bit. And he sounds like he's childishly retaliating. Are you both very young?

You should've stayed put in the Army accommodation and lived there rent free. It seemed to work for almost 7 years for this wifey:
